The winning entry

Curiosities 2011

The winning entries have now been selected in the Celebrating Trees competition. Congratulations to Maggie Harvey, Anna Fairley Nielsson, Dave Spellman, Alistair Waller, and Eleanor Leone Bennett. Special congratulations to Eleanor who was judged the overall winner. The full list can be seen on the right.

Unfortunately, we had to abandon the U16 competition due to a lack of entries. Instead, we have added two highly commended entries per region.

All winners will soon get a letter detailing how to claim their prize. In the meantime, if anyone listed to the right can email david.craven @ manchester.ac.uk we can get your high res image so the exhibition can be prepared.

Well done to all entrants, it was an amazing standard.
